  • I Wish...A Story to Encourage Children to Tell about Not-Okay Things

    Join four children as they share their three wishes with Riley the therapy dog. Each wish offers a peek into their world at home, and by their third wish, it's clear something isn't right. With Riley's support, the children find the courage to tell about the weird, icky, scary things that happened. This wistful tale encourages kids to confide in a safe adult about any not-okay situations they may face. "I Wish...” is a heartwarming picture book that empowers children to speak up and seek help when needed.

    Includes: “A Note from Riley,” “Let’s Talk Discussion Questions,” and “A Note to Safe Adults”
